Hamster Cruiser (MK-Bricks tribute)

 


MK-Bricks used to have quite a few good models, unfortunately he's not on Rebrickable anymore. Among those, there was the Hamster Cruiser (formerly MOC-23417). The original instructions were a somewhat difficult to follow photo sequence, and I've now gathered the motivation to do proper instructions. I've also fixed a few design issues and some mistakes in the original instructions & parts list.
Despite its relative small size, it took me several weeks to create these instructions. This design is quite difficult to model digitally.

There is a structural weakness that I didn't fix because I only noticed it when testing the model, after the instructions were done: the yellow connector attached to the rear shock absorber pops out easily when driving around.

About the parts:
  • not included in the inventory: the hamster & hamster flag
  • the cabling is made for newer versions of the RC-motor (made by other manufacturers) with an integrated PF cable;
  • the bumper stickers are from 42080;
  • the original model had PF-lights, but I didn't include them because it's too difficult.
